Apparently some of the members didn't like James' overly agressive deletions and bans. A new board named Degreeboard.com Inc. appears here: http://www.degreeboard.com/phpBB2/
Dave: I've gone through the (as yet) meager threads, but I don't see what causes you to think this board was set up to rebel against James Crabb's little operation. Did I miss something?
James Henry Crabb Grass, Sr. bans anyone who doesn't agree with him. He is unable to defend many of his positions, so he is forced to resort to censorship. He is a mental midget and a hypocrite. His site will no doubt fail because all of the members will be banned or encouraged to post elsewhere.
Tell you what. You go on back to that other forum, now that Redlyne Racer has commented on your post here, and you tell your little friends that mean old Uncle Janko told you to behave. They don't have the balls to note on their own that your uncivility was criticized here. In other words, you and they are running true to form. Everyone else on the thread was civil but you. If you don't understand what your problem is, check out Chip's instructions to posters (first thread on the main forum).
How much more civil can I be? James attemped to insult me by calling me, among other things, a Chicken Hawk. His comments were hurtful and completely inaccurate. When I successfully defended myself, he banned me and deleted the post. I think I angered him by questioning his qualifications to unfairly critique a legitimate doctoral dissertation?
Re: How much more civil can I be? If the doctoral dissertation is mine, I join that sentiment. The only poster there with a real doctorate opined that my dissertation was okay. The rest of them are certainly not qualified to make a sound determination--not just because they hold only fake doctorates or none at all. James is all over the place regarding both my research and what I've said about it. He's so utterly inaccurate, but it serves his purposes. I love that I'm criticized for my penchant for posting, yet that guy's got time to run his own board.
Re: Spoken like a man of God! You know Busho, your humor is sharp but you need to know that you may be cutting people unintentionally. Are you an impulsive person who just lashes out and make broad, hurtful statements without thinking, hoping that somehow they hit the intended target? Or are you a simple-minded person who just doesn't understand that there are people other than Uncle who are reading your postings. There are other options but I'm being called to dinner. I'll be happy to revisit the issue if necessary. Jack
Just a joke... Hi Jack: I'm a practicing Catholic, so I figured I was in an okay position to make that remark. I hope my comment didn't offend you in any way. I do plan on hitting the confessional tomorrow afternoon before mass, so I'll be sure to include the above joke in my list of many sins.
